  Was Thomas Ferguson's barque worse than his bight? Wonderful photo. 1860s?

  I can see the Martello tower so that must be the Dargle River flowing out into Bray Harbrour, albeit very silted up.

Cranes on MILAZZA (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  Name s/b MILAZZO for this and other photos in this series. SS Milazzo was an Italian bulk carrier built in 1916 and sunk during World War I. When she entered service, Milazzo was reported as the largest collier and also the largest cargo ship in the world. She was designed with a unique railcar and elevator system that helped to automate the discharge of cargo. [1]

• Art Siegel said:

  Pixel Wrangler That Wikipedia link needs some repair. Looks like Milazzo arrived in NY on July 1, 1916 on her maiden voyage.

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  Art Siegel Fixed. Thanks.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks to both of you for the information, and spelling correction. We'll make the changes to the records the next time we update.
